With this view, the author has written an imaginary biography of Herodotus, the Greek historian and geographer, who flourished in the fifth century before Christ; and by describing his supposed travels to the most famous cities and countries of antiquity, he has been enabled to review their several histories, narrate their national traditions, describe the appearance of each people, point out their peculiarities and manners, and develope the various religious views and ideas which belong to their several mythologies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Travels of Herodotus in the Fifth Century Before Christ, Vol. 2 of 2 The country itself may be described as a grass steppe, supplying good pasture for cattle and horses, and in its eastern quarter producing excellent wheat and all kinds of grain, together with great quantities of flax and hemp. It was, therefore, admirably adapted to the habits and requirements of a Tartar race. But the circumstances Which led to that great Tartar migration from the rich pas tures round the Sea of Aral to the Grass Steppe on the northern shore of the Euxine could not fail to excite the curiosity of the early philosophic traveller. The national traditions, however, which the Scythians themselves pre served, and those which prevailed amongst the Greek colonists on the shores of the Black Sea, were generally rejected by the more acute critics of olden time; and though we shall have occasion to produce them as speci mens of ancient historic myths, yet we would more par ticularly direct the reader's attention to the following account, which was the most generally received both by the Greeks and the other literary nations of the ancient world.

Such a work is peculiarly open to criticism. The author's anxious desire to render it as popular as possible has led him to take such freedoms as may probably be censured by the severer scholar. He has taken Herodotus to Persepolis and Jerusalem, and brought him into contact with Nehemiah, for the sake of connecting the sacred history of the world with the profane.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1856 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III. HALICARNASSUS (continued), B. C. 464. HERODOTUS PREPARES FOB A VOYAGE TO IONIA FAMILY AFFAIRS. POLITICAL STATE OF HALICARNASSUS. QUEEN ARTEMISIA. STRUGGLES OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.--AMBITION OF LYXES FOR HIS SON HERODOTUS. HERODOTUS'S POETICAL ASPIRATIONS. HIS ARDUOUS LABORS IN THE COMPOSITION OF AN EPIC POEM. REVIEW OF EARLY GREEK LITERATURE. HOMER AND HESIOD. RISE OF LYRIC POETRY. FIRST EDITION OF THE HOMERIC POEMS PUBLISHED BY THE PISISTRATIDS.--CRITICISM OF LYXES UPON HERODOTUS'S EPIC.--PARTING ADVICE. Herodotus was twenty years of age when it was ordained that he should leave his father's house at Halicarnassus, and pay a visit to the two Ionian islands of Samoa and Chios. Kinsmen of his father resided in both places. In Chios, which was the furthest off, lived a namesake, who was well known as Herodotus the son of Basilides, and who had taken an important part in the late Persian war. In Samos lived Theodoras, a descendant of the famous Samian artist of the same name. The reader must now be made acquainted with the reason which induced Lyxes to send his son upon such a voyage. Lyxes was a man of considerable wealth, and of great influence at Halicarnassus; and it had been arranged between the families that Herodotus was to be married to the fair Phaedra, a granddaughter of the old queen Artemisia. At the present time, however, Phaedra was only eight years old, and Herodotus was not at all sure that he had ever seen her. It was therefore neces sary, in the first place, that some ten years should elapse before the intended marriage could be celebrated. In the second place, Lyxes had noticed strong evidences of talent in his son, and hoped that this marriage would enable him to take a prominent position in Halicarnassus....
